A MUSIC lover and singer. A Rupert girl turned international opera star. A mother who once dreamed of being a scientist, but got to watch her daughter graduate from college instead. A son forced to return home for his father s funeral.
On the Latinx Farmworkers of Southern Idaho page, each of their stories matter.
Several American women from Idaho – most of whom live in the Mountain Home area – are responsible for a bilingual storytelling project honouring the lives and stories of Idaho farmworkers. Each story features an at-work portrait of one farmworker, as they tell stories about life, love and often – especially for the seasonal workers only in Idaho for a short time – the family and home they left behind.
